[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

If it is necessary to say that Second Miss Shen has any shortcomings, Chu Qi thinks that it is definitely not deterministic.According to her way of shooting and changing places, she traveled all over most of China except the Northwest, which is divided by the Hexi Corridor, and the time spent in each place did not exceed half a year... It took more than 20 years to complete the tour on the map. Of the [-]% of the towns marked, Chu Qi can only thank Shenzhou for being so big. In the next ten years, Shen Xi will not lose interest in wandering around.

As for Fluffy, who was once regarded as the biggest threat by Chu Qi... At least if he is running around now, Second Miss Shen doesn't have much time and energy to hook up.

But no time to hook up does not mean no hook up, now the food composition they carry, the proportion of dried fish and dried meat has increased a lot, on the one hand, it is easy to store and carry, on the other hand, it can be taken out at any time to hook up on the road fluffy animals.

Well, for example, the pile of cute things hanging on Lala's body to rub food...

Looking at the mummified body of Fanbang, who was covered in colorful paintings and covered with cats and dogs meowing and barking, Chu Qi calmed down and let his eyes go.

He was afraid that looking at it for a long time would hurt his eyes.

In the beginning, the first choice for the small animals was actually Shen Xi, but after a long time, Chu Qi developed the habit of letting out murderous aura silently when he saw a fluffy animal—of course, the target was not Miss Shen Er, she couldn't detect it. It's the habit of scaring them, so now the target of the little animals has become the least threatening Lala in the line.

Moreover, this mummy with weird taste seems to be quite adaptable to cats and dogs and other animals. Except for the soft and tender girl Shen Xi, the most popular among small animals is Lala, who can't be seen at all. The ruthlessness of chasing Li Bao'er on the flying carpet with the coffin on his back.

To a certain extent, Second Miss Shen and the former Pharaoh are actually well-deserved comrades in fluffy.

Later, Chu Qi learned that in the country where Lala ruled before his death, most of the gods were images of a combination of animal heads and human bodies, and those with cat heads and dog heads were more important gods, so as the ruler The former pharaoh of the ancient times loved these two animals very much.Although the brain was dug out after death and became another kind of existence, but the love for cats and dogs has continued to this day.

This is true love...

The above are the concluding remarks added by the informant Shen Xi himself.

Chu Qi is very fortunate that Shen Xi's true love is also the master of Chu Qi, the elder brother of her Second Miss Shen. When true love came, she abducted Shen Xi with a hook of her finger.

Even so, there is always an unstable factor in the lower bound.

According to the records that Chu Qi had access to when Chu Qi was still in Liuyue City, there was only one person who met these conditions.

Coincidentally, after living in the Lower Realm for more than 20 years, he also heard about a great Yanshu master Xie Yi who is the most famous in the world and has the same name.

The most important thing now is not to let Shen Xi meet that person.

Whether this is a big problem or a small one, the key lies in the fact that Xie Yi's whereabouts are a mystery, Chu Qi is not sure when and where, maybe he will meet him just after turning a corner on the street.

Chu Qi had a vague impression. During the time when she first came to the Lower Realm, when Shen Xi was having dinner at the inn, she heard a passer-by mention that a certain Yanshi used Yanjia to dredge the snow-covered mountain road, and she choked to death... It seems that in the future, I will Pay more attention to the news in this regard, and selectively avoid routes that may overlap.

And all of this had to be done without Shen Xi's knowledge.

"...So, the next direction is determined to be...I said, Chu Qi, are you listening? Why are you in a daze when you are talking about business? Come back to my senses!"

Shen Xi stood on tiptoe in dissatisfaction, and kept poking Chu Qi's shoulder with her fingers. Although it looked very hard, with her five-negative combat power, she couldn't cause any substantial damage to Chu Qi.

"Everything is under Miss Xi's orders."

No matter what Shen Xi plans to do, this answer is the most foolproof, even if she wants to do something dangerous, Chu Qi is confident that she can settle it before Second Miss Shen is in danger.

The cause of the incident was that four days ago, Shen Xi discovered that the ice silkworms she had raised for many years suddenly began to die in large numbers.The pair of breeding ice silkworms she first started to cultivate are actually very old, and it is not surprising that their lifespans will end. Affected, a litter dies as soon as it dies.

So Second Miss Shen, who had no purpose in the first place, set the next stop as the origin of ice silkworms, Buzhou Mountain.

"...East of Zhongshan Mountain, northeast of Kunlun..." Shen Xi unfolded the silk map traced from the ancient map in Shen Ye's study, "It is always windy and snowy, and there are barriers around the periphery. The stronger the spiritual power, the greater the obstacles... ...Only block the strong, not the weak..."

She took a pen and paper and started writing a shopping list.

"Pack up your things first before setting off, and buy more supplies to keep out the cold."

"My subordinate, go here."

"Hmm... wait a minute, you don't seem to have prepared winter clothes? It seems that you can't use spiritual power in that place. Are you looking for illness when you go in ordinary clothes?"

"……This……"

"That's right!" The little girl seemed to have remembered something, put her hands together, and said happily, "I remember I bought a lot of good materials from Mohe last year, and they are pretty good for winter clothes!"

"..."

An ominous premonition welled up.

After spending a lot of money to make the tailor rush to make winter clothes overnight, the two set off according to the scheduled time.

What Shen Xi took was a copy of an ancient map. Although the landforms have changed a bit today, the general direction is not wrong. It's just that Shen Xi and Chu Qi were in the south of the Yangtze River before, and the distance was too far, so it took some time. Only then did he arrive at the barrier outside Buzhou Mountain.

"...Miss Xi, do you have to change your clothes?" Chu Qi felt a little stressed after taking out the big clothes.

Shen Xi nodded as a matter of course: "To enter Buzhou Mountain, you must restrain all your spiritual power. You don't have magic spells and don't wear thick clothes. There are no five-color stones here. How are you going to keep out the cold?"

While speaking, she had already untied the knot on the burden, picked up a leather robe, stretched her arms and placed it in front of Chu Qi.

"Now, right now, get dressed. You don't want me to do it yourself, do you?"

It really doesn't matter to wear more clothes, but the problem is that Shen Xi's taste has been the same for many years, even the leather robes of adult men are the same as the one she wears, they are all super plush.

In order not to be stripped of his clothes by the little girl Zhan Wuscum, Chu Qi finally compromised, took the robe Shen Xi handed to him, put it on and put it on, and then he realized that he was thinking too much.

——Where is the need to take off the original clothes to add clothes?

Then when he turned around, he discovered another thing that made his mood even more complicated.

When Shen Xi was looking for a tailor to make clothes, he asked someone to keep the tail on the animal skin, and now this fluffy tail trailed behind him.

"Miss Xi..." It was rare for him to turn pale in front of Shen Xi, "...this?"

"Ahem!" Shen Xi coughed dryly and said with a sneer, "This design can be used as a belt in an emergency!"

Chu Qi suddenly felt that at this time, it was better not to get to the bottom of the real reason.Shen Xi likes to do this, so he dresses honestly. Anyway, the tail is not very long, so he tried to take two steps, and it didn't affect his actions.

Let's do this first... He thought desperately.After so many years of following Miss Shen's temperament, he is also used to it.

The ice silkworms feed on the wood grains that grow at the southern foot of Buzhou Mountain, and the two of them were at the border of the southern foot. From this point, they could vaguely see the mountain foot covered by greenery.It was very windy and snowy in this area, and Shen Xi was already fully armed with leather jackets, gloves, scarves and hats on the way here. When Chu Qi was arranging the clothes she had just changed, she was picking out her luggage.

After entering the invisible barrier surrounding Buzhou Mountain, all skills related to spiritual power cannot be used, and the spell of carrying objects is naturally included, so before entering the mountain, she must find out the necessities first, and the rest are not necessary for survival. Just stay here and take it with you when you return.

"It's so cold, you don't have to worry about changing your clothes... Firewood and drinking water can be collected in the mountains, but you must bring flint and steel. Don't forget the pot. Bring a smaller one..."

Shen Xi calculated the approximate distance based on the scale, and then estimated the time required for the trip, so as to determine the amount of food to bring.She muttered in a low voice, then allocated twelve days worth of supplies, and began to stuff them into the two backpacks that she ordered earlier.

"It takes about four days to go back and forth. Set aside four days to find ice silkworms. For a total of eight days, bring one-half of the total amount of food for emergencies... After twelve days, whether you continue to search or do another I plan to come back here."

Chu Qi nodded, using spells to hide Shen Xi's leftover luggage after sorting, and left a spiritual power mark, in case the wind and snow were strong, and he couldn't find the place after half a month.

There are two backpacks, one large and one small, Shen Xi carries the small one and Chu Qi carries the large one. After checking the weight, they are all within the range that each can bear.

"By the way, you didn't forget to bring the Juejue Jade with you?"

Before entering the barrier, Shen Xi remembered the most important thing, so she turned to look at Chu Qi.

Legend has it that the owner of Buzhou Mountain, the son of Zhulong Zhonggu, is somewhat tolerant of the weak and allows weak creatures to enter Buzhou Mountain to practice, but he dislikes the gods and their subordinates of the Pangu system.

Although the two are not priests of the Lieshan tribe, their spiritual power still belongs to the lineage of Shennong, so they must be more careful, and the magic energy is not their own spiritual power. Even if they are restrained with all their strength, it will inevitably leak out. Negative magic energy is bad.

"Miss Xi, don't worry." Chu Qi pulled out a piece of rope from the fluffy collar, and it was tied with a pendant inlaid with a small piece of devouring jade. "This thing has never left the body."

Shen Xi nodded, and her gaze involuntarily fell on the fluff of Chu Qi's neckline—it looked good to the touch.

The business is important... She collected herself, brushed off the fine snowflakes that fell on her eyelashes, and turned around to pass through the barrier.

There was a thick layer of clouds hovering over the top of the mountain, and lightning full of the power of golden thunder seemed to be hidden among the clouds, but it didn't come down for a long time.

The cliff under the main peak is full of huge caves, which were the residences of the horned dragons who used to practice transformation here, but now they have long been vacant, leaving only the howling sound of the new wind passing through the caves.

It seems that because of the protection of the Dragon God, Buzhou Mountain's spiritual energy is extremely abundant, and it seems that it has not been affected by the changes in the ancient world at all.

……No effect?How can it be?

Shen Xi silently raised her head and looked at the main peak of Buzhou Mountain, which was cut in two. The sky pillar that should have towered into the sky had already collapsed—and it was the bells and drums guarding Buzhou Mountain that collapsed after a fight. The misfortune is also caused by this.

Shen Xi's goal is the southern foot of the main peak. This section of the road is far smoother than the road to climb the main peak, but it is still too rugged for the little girl Zhan Wuzha. The regular towering trees are intertwined and intertwined, making walking on them even more difficult.It was also thanks to Shen Xi's thick clothes that he didn't suffer.

When he visually inspected the range of Buzhou Mountain, Chu Qi thought that if he only went to the southern foot, it would take a little longer to go back and forth in eight days. Now, looking at the speed of Miss Shen Er, he felt that everything should be planned for a rainy day...

While thinking about it, he reached out and grabbed Second Miss Shen by the collar, and lifted it like a chicken, successfully curbing the little girl's tendency to roll directly to the foot of the mountain.

"The road is rough, Miss Xi must be careful." Chu Qi suppressed a smile and reminded.

It's not that he's unkind, but that the little girl who wears too many clothes is really round, and with a backpack that's too big for her, Miss Shen Er, who never falls on the flat road, suffers... But she's round Also quite cute.

Shen Xi reluctantly snorted, patted the dust that didn't exist on her body, and continued to move forward.After walking a few steps, Chu Qi grabbed him by the collar again, saving himself from danger.

"... If you laugh again, you won't have anything to eat!"

"..."

No matter how stubborn you are, Miss Xi, you will still fall when you should... Chu Qi looked away.

Step by step until it was dark, Chu Qi found a cave that had been abandoned for a long time, blocked the air vent with stones and branches, and lit a bonfire.Miss Shen Er, who fell all the way, couldn't wait to find out the blanket and sleeping bag and spread it out, as if she couldn't sleep if she got into it.

Chu Qi could only helplessly remind the little girl to eat dinner before going to bed, otherwise she would not have the energy to climb the mountain tomorrow, and would only fall worse.

Of course, he wisely silenced the last sentence.

What he drank was boiled snow water filtered with grass leaves and charcoal, and it still had a very light earthy smell. What he ate was compressed biscuits made by Shen Xi himself. Although the nutrition was sufficient, the taste was not good.It was the first time for Shen Xi to eat such a simple food for dinner after arriving in the lower realm.

The little girl had food in her mouth, her cheeks were bulging, and she didn't swallow much. She chewed once and for all. Under the firelight, she looked red and round, and her absent-minded appearance was very cute.

If you pinch it, it should feel good...

Chu Qi lowered her eyes thoughtfully, and decided to put her ideas into practice when she found an opportunity in the future.
